ISO 45001: Transitioning from the OHSAS 18001 Standard

ISO 45001 is the world’s first international occupational health & safety standard, in the UK it will be replacing the BS OHSAS 18001 standard.

Following a similar structure to the latest ISO 9001 and 14001 standards, this new standard focuses on many areas of improvements including: risk management and hazard elimination; participation and consultation of the workforce now plays a large part in informing organisational improvement; new definitions of workers and work places; better understanding of outsourcing and associated responsibilities; and management of organisational change. These are just some of the latest developments featured in the new standard from the evolving world of occupational health and safety.

Final publication of ISO 45001 is expected in March 2018, at which point OHSAS 18001 will be withdrawn. All organisations will have a three-year window in which to ‘migrate’ to ISO 45001 and will require a minimum of 1 days additional auditing to do so.

This course is aimed at individuals who are responsible for designing, implementing or maintaining an occupational health & safety management system, particularly those responsible for managing the transition or implementing from scratch the new ISO 45001 standard.
